Be Part of the Earth Day Fair
Earth Day Fair SWAP
Get ready to infuse new life into old favorites and uncover hidden treasures while promoting sustainability at the Washington Earth Day Swap! Dive into the excitement by bringing items such as gently worn clothing, beloved books (especially those by Dan Pilkey, Jeff Kinney & Judy Blume will go fast) and toys in good condition to swap. Other ideas are Washington-specific spirit wear, fantastic Halloween costumes, and unused party supplies (we all have those packs of soccer plates and princess decor we will never use). One person’s trash is another person’s treasure!
